"I went to a very good, and otherwise doctrinally sound, Christian college, but my science department (chemistry and physics, not biology curiously enough) were adamantly, almost avidly, long age creationists. They all rejected a literal flood and a…"

"Upon re-reading the technical paper by Dr. Hartnett, I think I have your answer. The principle source of time dilation, according to Hartnett is not gravitational, but rather due to the velocity of the expansion of space. Therefore the depth of the…"

"This is resolved by the gravitational time dilation effect described by relativity. Since earth clocks would be running slower than clocks elsewhere in the universe, those 50k years would happen elsewhere while the short amount of time pass here. "

"I have yet to acquire and read Dr. Hartnett's latest contribution, Starlight, Time, and the New Physics, but it is the latest in the inflationary cosmology camp. I heard him give a presentation on it when he was early in the investigation. It…"

"Gabriel, The theological problem with "jumping" light is the same as with light created "on-the-way" except that the information about the stars that is misleading is their distance. It is certainly possible that God could have…"

"In that case it is just the same as the satellite issue we've been talking about. If there is communication involved, then you are dealing with the round trip speed of light. If there is deterministic calculation, then the calculation involves…"

"This goes back to the issue of having to synchronize the clocks at both ends of the experiment. No es posible. "

"Here's the rub. ASC stipulates that the speed is infinite inbound and c/2 outbound, so from earth perspective, the message going to the satellite is c/2. That is the speed that would be used for timing the signal. "

"To Paul's question: Dr. Lisle's ASC does not assume that the light speed is arbitrarily variable. What I've been trying to get across is that it stipulates a certain behavior of light, then all calculations would have to be done…"

"And my answer is that the calculations required to determine the exact right time to send it would depend upon the relativistic synchrony convention used such that whether you used Dr. Lisle's ASC or Einstein Synchrony, either result would…"

"Sure thing: Anisotropic Synchrony Convention (ASC, Dr. Lisle's proposal) would inherently affect the calculations of the position of the Space Vehicle (SV). As long as the appropriate relativistic corrections are made, using ASC, the velocity…"

"I don't buy what you are saying, because it fails to take into account the fact that ASC would inherently affect the calculations of the position of the SV. As long as the appropriate relativistic corrections are made, using ASC, the velocity…"

"My personal favorites are John Baumgartner and Jonathan Sarfati. I had lost track of Sarfati after AiG went it's own way from Creation Ministries international, and only tracked him down in the last couple of months. I watched him do his chess…"

"Right-o Stefan. And the cool thing about this discussion for me is that it helped me realize even better what Dr. Lisle talked about in his paper; ASC or Einstein Synchrony are truly only conventions. Neither the MC or the SV can distinguish one…"
